This payout can help cover funeral expenses, such as the casket, burial plot, and other related costs, easing the financial burden on the deceased's loved ones.
No, it will go as part of the estate of the deceased (as set out in the will). If there is no will then the estate (including the life policy payout) will be handled by the state and distributed as required by your local state/country laws.Thus if the deceased had debts on death and the insurance beneficiary was NOT identified in the policy, the payout will go towards settling the debts first (after the funeral expenses).
The person who receives financial protection from a life insurance plan is called a beneficiary. When the policyholder passes away, the beneficiary is entitled to receive the death benefit payout from the insurance policy. This payout can help cover expenses such as funeral costs, debts, and other financial obligations left behind.
